Перевод песни

Песня: Mama Tried*
The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind
But mama tried

One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite all my Sunday learnin'
Towards the bad, I kept a-turnin'
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore

And I turned twenty-one in prison
Doing life without parole
No one could steer me right
But mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame,
'Cause mama tried

Dear old daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right
But I refused

And I turned twenty-one in prison
Doing life without parole
No one could steer me right
But mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame,
'Cause mama tried


* — Кавер на композицию Mama Tried в оригинальном исполнении Merle Haggard

Перевод песни:
Мама пыталась

Первая вещь, которую я помню, что осознал,
Был одинокий гудок поезда,
Юношеская мечта вырасти и уехать
Из города на грузовом поезде
Куда глаза глядят,
И никто не мог меня переубедить,
Но мама пыталась.
